| May 27th, early evening: After a few days at home, I reach Guymon, Oklahoma, in time to see a dust storm caused by a derecho coming southeast out of Kansas. |
|
|
| May 29th, mid afternoon: Birth of a supercell near Edmonson, Texas (northwest of Lubbock). |
|
|
| May 29th, late afternoon: Same storm. Initial stage of wall cloud deveopment near Claytonville, Texas. |
|
|
| A few minutes later. |
|
|
| Soon after that, a dusty spin-up. |
|
|
| The spin-up expands, but a condensation funnel never forms. |
|
|
| May 29th, early evening: Strong winds at rear of supercell stir up dirt from freshly plowed field near Quitaque, Texas. |
|
|
| Fringe benefit of storm chasing: dramatic skies behind the supercell. |
|
|
| May 30th, late afternoon: A hot, humid day watching rapidly building towers just west of Ardmore, Oklahoma, in the middle of a tornado watch. Perfect, except everything soon fizzles out. |
|
|
| May 30th, early evening: Supercell near Henrietta, Texas. |
|
|
| Same storm at sunset south of Wichita Falls. |
